Eiffel Tower: New Laser Cutter Project Launch!

This is the first project in a very long time that I documented fully from initial ideal to finished project – almost 10 blog entries showing how I built it step by step and starting today – you can buy it yourself and cut it right now!

Made-up of 58 pieces, the finished Eiffel Tower measures a huge L: 500 W: 500 H: 1500 (mm) or L: 19-11/16 W: 19-11/16 H: 59-1/16 (in) when fully built. Just use glue! You can find it under Trotec Laser Cutter / Landmarks right now at CNCKing.com in PDF, DXF, EPS and AI file formats!

It’s a great project for beginners and advanced CNC laser cutter users but be warned… it will take a while to cut! It took David Newman’s Trotec Laser 500 a total of 16 hours to cut all the pieces but luckily, he documented the entire thing which you can see below.

This model is screaming to be 3D printed and cut with a table router and plasma cutter – good thing about my workflow is that it’s relatively easy to modify the model to suit but in the case of the table router, I’d need to wait till I get myself a bigger table… indexing is all good and fun but not when you have massive pieces to cut. I’ll have to design other fun models for my ShopBot Desktop!
